Hi Collab members,

In this message on the education mailing list, Jirka from Mexico is seeking advice on how to motivate her students to do peer-review. I'm wondering if someone of you has an answer to her question? Please respond there on the education mailing list not here. But if you're not subscribed there and want to send me suggestion to forward to her in your name, I will be happy to do.

Thank you!

Hello everybody. I want to get back to you with a quick rundown of how this is going.

We've decided to try a video transcribing and subtitling activity as Leigh Thelmadatter suggested (https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Newsletter/April_2015/New_to_Wikipedia:_A_personal_perspective). We are using the Amara.org platform. I put up a list of videos for subtitling or translating from English; students may volunteer to pick a video or suggest their own (which nobody did as of yet) and transcribe / translate it. They get 30 points for the first minute and 10 for every additional minute they complete.

Videos on the list are mostly what I recently watched on YouTube. I did not include any videos from Commons. Videos on my list that were at least partially subtitled (or translated) by the students include

What I did not figure out yet is how to motivate students to do Peer Review. I offered 10 points for reviewing every minute, but students mostly ignored it and did not participate.

Thank you for all your suggestions. I plan to eventually extend this activity to Wikipedia articles too.
